Since 1999, the seaport town of Fishguard has been host to a traditional music festivals, and, with the rising popularity of folk music , Fishguard Folk Festival is now one of the country s best small festivals. Held over the late May Spring Bank Holiday week end, one of the festival s best features is the blur between audience and performers, creating an opportunity to meet the artists, engage in the workshops and master classes, and soak up an atmosphere. International interest in Celtic roots has seen the festival introduce, and attract, Brittany Breton , Cornwall Cornish and Scotland Scottish artists alongside the now regular Wales Welsh , Ireland Irish and England English groups. Organised by volunteers from the Tuesday night Royal Oak Fishguard Folk session, the festival is non profit making, financed mainly by grants, ticket sales and donations, and as long as they break even, or run at a small loss, everybody is happy.
